When we are born again we are free from the power of sin but have not yet come to victory over sin. Romans 7 is the Newborn Christian which still struggles with the flesh, victory comes when we learn to walk in the Spirit (Romans 8:1).... Simply put, Earnest of the Spirit leads to fulness of...

Now he which stablisheth us with you in Christ, and hath anointed us, is God; Who hath also sealed us, and given the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts. (1 Corinthians 1:21-22) When a priest is anointed, he is just beginning his priesthood, he has yet to experience the fulness of that...

We come to Jesus by receiving the good news, and repentance is a fruit of the Spirit after our rebirth. In other words we as new borns arrive at, make room for, or reach repentance (Choreo) (2 Peter 3:9) This is His righteousness imputed on us, not us being made Holy (Sanctification of the...

There are lots of people who claim to be born again, yet their heart is still corrupt, and they are living in sin... does that then mean they are not born again? Or worse that they are allowed to live in that sin because of the grace of God (Turning the grace of God into lasciviousness)? What...

The Point Paul is making is that even after we are born again, sin dwells inside of us, and this is the reason we need to be sanctified by the Holy Spirit which transforms the very motives of the heart after salvation. This is enabled by submission to the work of the Spirit in us (Romans 8), and...

I Agree, But do you think Biden still fills out his own Christmas cards?

I was quoting this verse to give credence to your "three cords" analogy. No Need to go to websters to define "with" The word implies a joining of two distinct groups under the moniker of fellow citizens in the household of God. There is a reason why the KJV translators used "with" instead of...

I did not say "Christians are sinners", But that is where all humans start out as sinners needing the grace of God. Once you are saved you are counted among the faithful.... a saint is one of the faithful who has been called to the high calling of God in Christ Jesus, which is to give their...

The following explains this well enough, even though Got Questions is a "Calvinist" sponsored sight. Why does Christ’s righteousness need to be imputed to us? | GotQuestions.org

For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ. (John 1:17) Thanks for the comments, and welcome to the forum.

I do understand what you wrote before and largely agree.... my wording may have been off in the OP regarding imputation. The last comment I felt led to post even though it was off your questions. Perhaps the HS had someone else in mind to hear that. I think it is time we take the term saint...

But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible. (Matthew 19:26)

As I mentioned in the OP, we all walk the same path, but our journey is unique to us. Full surrender for one is not the same as full surrender for another. for example, someone living in the filth of carnality before conversion is going to surrender in the direction of religiousity, while one...

Agreed on this Revelation 12 spans the whole of church history from the death of Christ to today.

keep reading verses 10-11.... that is the role of the church (Revelation 12:10-11)

It is the gift of Righteousness, not of works of the law. And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith: (Philippians 3:9) For if by one man's offence death reigned by one...

Did you happen to catch the fact that in ALL the verses you quoted about the saints, two groups are mentioned. You have the "faithful", "beloved of God", Those that call upon the name of the Lord Jesus", "faithful brethren" etc. juxtaposed with the saints? Did you happen to Catch how Paul, the...

Some would say we go from sinner to saint as soon as we are born again, I say it is a process, and a journey, a path every believer must walk in their own unique way. When we are born again, we are Justified, declared righteous, imputed the righteousness of Christ upon us, thus we are instantly...

According to you, when is it that this evangelism comes to an end? Is there a specific verse that comes to mind? For me it is at the end of the sixth trumpet when repentance is no longer to be had. (Revelation 9:20-21) Good comment.

ditto I Just presented a fact that you are unable to accept which is wholly biblical. Then shalt thou cause the trumpet of the jubile to sound on the tenth day of the seventh month, in the day of atonement shall ye make the trumpet sound throughout all your land. And ye shall hallow the...
